EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

 They are literally growing on every fence line and canal bank around here. Oh and the hogs should be happy because the woods are loaded with them too.  Lets hear yall's favorite ways to fix them. These are going into a cobbler.

Soak them in milk with a little sugar. My grandma used to fixem like that for the kids.

cobbler and ice Cream It hardly gets any better then that

 I agree with both of you. Fresh blackberries are hard to beat.

 OCD, I had them like that as a kid as well. Still do some times. My dad used to pour half and half over them for us and sprinkle a little sugar on top.

Mash them up good with brown sugar, pig it in a blinder and pour it over steak!  :o

I thought I had heard of everything. You got me with that one.

That actualy sounds good I will try that

 Sounds like the start of a great mixed drink.  ;D

Ummm....but with the steak on the side.  :angel:

Cobbler! Your lucky there not even started good here where I live, won't be ready for a month or better

Waylon, with all of the rain we have been having and it been unusually hot, the weather has just been perfect for them.

I just like 'em plain... nothin' better than poppin' a few fresh picked wild berries when you're out enjoying the woods!

Friend of mine has been producing commercial rasberries for the last couple years... university has actually bred the thorns off a them and increased their size to almost a damn ping-pong ball... too easy, too much... just not the same for me  ;D

Thats funny..... I checked out a patch that was loaded with blooms a month ago, and expected it to be loaded with ripe ones today when checking cows, but there was just a moderate ammount, mostly green and looked like they were gonna be on the small side.  Can't beat cobler and icecream.

Waylon

 I had our 5 month old puppy with me when I was picking the berries and he was watching me. The next thing I know, he was eating them off the vine. I hope they aren't poisenous to dogs.  ???

Ain't nothin better than nannys homemade dewberry cobbler with some homemade vanilla ice cream;D

Yea! its done!!!  :P

 That's not even right. I'm working night's and look what she makes while I'm gone.... ;)

LOL, sorry babe. At least you will have fresh cobbler waiting on you when you get home in the morning.  :-*

Dang Dinah, that looks good.......

Thank you.

I used to have a little bulldog who would stand on her back legs and eat them off the vine. They sure never hurt her.

That aint right, I just woke up and I am hungry, and that did not help. I will put the wife on blackberry cobbler mission today. Its not Ice Cream its Blue Bell

Dang Dinah... you need to bring one of them next time we hunt.

Sure would go good after a few pounds of crawfish. ;D

Here's 3 gallons
And the wife hooked up some fired pies with some ;)

Y'all better get them ....hogs are hitting them hard

black berry wine is what i make

Great idea Mike! We can walk it off while hunting.  ;D

Dang that fried pie looks good!  :P  I have a few berries left. Gonna have to try that.

Ive never made any but that is my favorite flavor.  ;D

It's veerrrryyyy good!!! But of course to each his own. I'm like a garbage disposal! Lol I'll eat anything wen I'm hungry! 16 yr old kid that weighs 185 pounds is hard to keep any food away from!

Ive always liked eating the red berries more!! Green plums are awesome too... I prefer sour over sweet!!  ;)

I'm glad I just ate, but one of those pies and some Blue Bell sure does sound good! I'll have to take a walk down my fence... growing like crazy, and haven't yet checked them this year.

Why am I not surprised..... :D That will change as you 'mature' young whipper-snapper..... :D

The cobbler looks fit to eat Dinah,.....y'all enjoy it.

Thanks Neal. You and Tom load up and head this way and I will save yall some.  :)

x10000000...wow...

Dang! You and Will are making me homesick!!!!

Oh man if my wife sees those pictures she will make me drive her over there. She drives me crazy this time of year. I am not a fan of berries that have seeds that get stuck in my teeth. We are stuck in a subdivision now and she will make me stop on the side of the road let her out and circle around so she can go pick dewberries. Last year they sucked because there was no rain. I tell my wife she needs some dewberry dogs rolleyes So she can turn them out and they bring back the berries ;D

mmm mmmm good.  i've just been eating them straight off the bush, only tasted one stink bug today.  i'm gonna/ or should take some to my mom or nanny to make a cobbler.

on second thought a top priority has just become blackberry wine

Crawfish and blackberries sounds good to me, I will go get Neal and be on our way. What time is good? Haha.

Can i steal a little basic recipe help please Mrs. Dinah. i've got a ton of em growin wild not 15ft from my bedroom window and that look to dang good not to try!

Yes sir!  :)  This is an easy recipe.

You will need a 9 x 13 cake pan, sprayed with non stick spray

This recipe calls for 4 cups blackberries but I use about 6 cups.

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees

First mix the batter:

2 cups bisquick
2/3 cup sugar
1 cup whole milk
1/2 stick of melted butter (do not use margerine)

Mix these ingredients well and pour into the bottom of your pan. Don't worry, the batter rises to the top while cooking.

Then mix your berries with

1 1/3 cup sugar
1 3/4 cup water (I know it sounds like a lot of water but trust me it works)

Stir together gently so that you don't tear the berries up and then pour the berries over top of the batter.

Bake at 375 degrees for about 45 minutes or until the crust on top is golden brown.  :)

If you try it, let me know how it turns out.

Thanks ya very much mam....and its gonna happen! Looks too good to pass up!

mrs dinah i think chloe just challenged you to a bakin contest :P

we had a bad run in with a lost black bear so we werent allowed to hit the patches unless my old man was with us, as i got older we used to munch them all the time

  ;D  Ive seen her baked goods. I don't want to go up against her in a baking contest. Lol

I gave my ol lady that recipe DJ and all it did was fire her up.  We just got done picking a few gallons of berries and now we're off to pick some Mayhaws. 

We'll let you know how the recipe goes, it'll be a few days.

This is one off a different recipe.  I just took the picture and fixing to bust out the Blue Bell and go to town on it.

Berry,milk, sugar,drop or two of vanilla stract, ice, blend it and serve chilled.... Good stuff

sounds simple but good...I wonder if substituting a couple of scoops of blue bell homemade vanilla instead of the vanilla drops...

 Ohhh, a berry smoothie does sound good!

Yep...might have to go out tomorrow and pick some berries and have a smoothie and some cobbler...both these recipes sounds easy enough for my wife...

Take berries and fill a mason jar up with em. Then fill mason jar to the top with moonshine (or any other white liquor). Let it sit on a window sill for about a week, shake it around a little bit every day. Pour out the liquids and strain them. Then fill the jar with the berries up with sugar, let it sit (shake it up every day) until all the sugar is gone and there is a bunch of syrup in the bottom. Keep doing this until no more juice comes out of the berries. Put this in a different jar. Mix the liquor and the syrup until you get the taste you like. Then strain it again and add a little bit of lemon juice.

We call this the strawberry panty dropper, the women love it ;)

Done it with strawberries, blueberrys, blackberries and imagine it would work with any kind of fruit.

must be some real good stuff...

so why do you call it the strawberry panty dropper???  ???

 :D   Ever heard that song " Tequila make her clothes fall off " ??  Its kinda like that...  ;D

Trash Can Punch has that effect too...  ;)

The original recipe was done with strawberries.... If you need any more explanation than that, well, i don't know what to tell ya
